The FDA memo claiming the COVID vaccine killed at least 10 children relies on unverified VAERS reports and ignores real pediatric COVID data. If the agency wants credibility and truly believes in “radical transparency” it must release the full evidence for independent review.

At this point we have to assume that if the Epstein files are released they will
- end the Trump Presidency

Trump has done enormous harm to the country.
He is a deeply corrupt and venal man.
He is wildly unpopular, his agenda more so. He's lost the consent of the governed.
He is old, infirm & clearly no longer mentally competent to run a nation.
It is time now to start talking about him moving on👇

Growing list of reasons Trump should step down:
- Cover up of his involvement in notorious sex trafficking ring
- Unprecedented corruption, self enrichment
- Tariffs are historic, unprecedented abuse of power
- Illegal desecration of most important global symbol of American democracy
